Got replaced by a clanker, AMA.
I loved Tidal so much. Best place i’ve worked so far.
Really heartbreaking, but excited for whatever is next!

there's a next? we're all losing our jobs
I'm sorry to read this, man, hope you find something soon. We all shitting our pants rn, anyone could be next. Got a performance review coming and I'm feeling anxious af.
😔 🫂
Best of luck sir.
Had my yearly performance review two hours before the layoffs and got rated “exceeds expectations” lol.
Confusing times
Is AI anti-human, pro-human, or something else?
By next i might mean teaching meditation or working in a cafe lul
All of the above
wtf.. I'm cooked, think I'm going to pivot to elderly care or something. Needs physical strength and a human touch + demographics are a tailwind.
anti-individual. anti-working class. pro-technocracy. pro-oligopoly.
Learn to grow silicon and manufacture smaller wafers
Time horizon dependent
And another one bytes the dust
TIDAL is awesome. Ty, sir. Godspeed.
Any logical system is a self contained box of statements that stack on each other to build structures. Axioms of arethmitic build the structures of numbers, axioms that create our "cognitive bricks" build more complex idea structures.
AI takes these logical boxes and builds on top of them at a blazingly fast speed, which show their limits and edge points of rigidity. Any tower built has a high limit from its materials. If you want to build and more complex structures, you need to incorporate a variety of building materials (a variety of cognitive frameworks)
AI does the same, it is building systems at a rapid rate. At the most basic/individual level, offloading our cognitive capacity is increasing rigidity by atrophying our cognition. At the collective level, massively offloading cognition will build a rigid and fragile company/organization.
Not to negate the use of AI as a tool. But the mistake of assuming a small amount of individuals utilizing a single tool will increasingly place pressure on these points of rigidity, opening up a cascade of consequences.
Where does this come from? Look to Godel's Proof of the Incompleteness theorems - he made a process to demonstrate that any logical system is incomplete, and he did so by building statements so fast that the logical system increasingly shows where it becomes rigid.
Fundamentally, this is telling me that AI will use our logic (of all types, whether mathematical or dialectice) against us, and place pressure on society, increasingly deminstrating its fragility points. That's something to sit with, and digest the implications.
I hope this at least makes a seed of sense. The whole idea can't be unpacked in a single note, so I'm pointing and inviting for further study.
Very good articulation I hadn't hear before. We're already seeing a lot of those fragility points with the increasing ability to impersonate/scam people in ways that we have zero defenses against. Many more will come I'm sure.
How come TIDAL never introduced bitcoin tips for creators?
What has you excited next?
indeed, gödel found the flaw
like "divide by zero" as a math köan
maybe ai finally gets lost in its proper tao
The logical "box" is a single, unchanging framework. The world of counting numbers begets a faster counting, that is addition. To undo addition, you have subtraction, which is limited at 0. Therefore, the limit of counting births forth negative numbers.
Faster addition births forth multiplication, to which undoing births division, which is limited by integers. To be able to divide with all numbers, rational numbers are then birthed. The moral of the story is that limitations of any system birth a new system to accommodate innovation - but the resistance to creating a new system are the pressure points, and failing to adapt are the points of cascading failures (look no further than the Tacoma narrow's bridge as an example https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tacoma_Narrows_Bridge_(1940)).
So, what I'm pointing to is that this general assumption of increasing efficiency through llms (smaller amount of individuals using a single tool/framework) creates stronger tunnel vision for any organization, and the cracks will become increasingly apparent.
The solution to create a robust society is to widen out from our tunnel vision. A long winded explanation to say what intuition points at all along - diverse minds bringing in multiple perspectives creates an antifragile society & organization.
Is a car anti-human or pro-human?
yes
I try to facilitate good discussion in between shit posting 🫡

We prioritized more foundational features related to uploading your music over the last year. Monetization was a big planned focus this year.
Excited for all the free time, coding for myself again, and getting in the best shape of my life. Just exploring life again really
